Hawke’s Bay

Hawke’s Bay is so motorhome friendly that Hastings was actually recognised as New Zealand's first motorhome friendly town. Then in 2010 it was voted the most 'Motorhome Friendly Town' by the New Zealand Motor Caravan Association.

Julie and Doug Batt own and run Mountain Valley Adventure Lodge, a popular place for horse trekking, river rafting, kayaking, fishing, claybird shooting, paintball and mountain biking. Accommodation includes chalets, cottages and camping and caravan sites. There is also a bar and restaurant on site. Vivienne Haldane shares her experience...
